Bladder Neck Obstruction In Men

Let me help:
Tment options vary depending on the cause of obstruction and the overall health of the patient. Alpha-blocker drug therapy can help to relax the bladder muscles. In many cases, self-catheterization may also be required. Success rates with this type of treatment can vary. If drug therapy does not help, you may need surgery.

The bladder is a muscular organ in the pelvis that accepts urine from the kidneys, stores the urine at low pressure, & expels the urine during voluntary voiding. Though seemingly a simple reservoir, the bladder is a complex organ intricately connected with the brain and spinal cord with sensory, motor, and autonomic circuits. The muscular layer that contracts during voids is called the detrusor.

Tight bladder neck is used to describe what a urologist see on cystourethroscopy-like a tight rubber band ring, which is clinically related with diminishing urine flow so a term of bladder neck obstruction is coined. However, how these findings and description may be implied in urinary symptoms of every individuals should be correlated with urodynamic testing & clinical assessment. So, ask doctor.

Here is what I. ..:
Experiencing painful voiding after diagnostic procedures through the urethra is expected, will ease, and eventually disappeared with variable pace among individuals, usually within 1-2 days, and medication such as Pyridium and Flomax (tamsulosin) may help ease it. Yet, one has to relate the visible bladder neck obstruction with its functional impact onto personal voiding. Detailing? Ask doc timely. Best wish.

Bladder neck incisio:
Transurethral resection of the bladder neck (TURBN) should be a bladder neck incision in most all cases. It is often indicated for patients for symptoms of BPH with a small prostate gland. If a formal resection is done bladder neck scarring may occur. Sometimes TURBN is done for bladder neck contractures and should be best performed as an incision.

TUIBN:
Transurethral incision of the bladder neck is an outpatient surgical procedure that opens up bladder neck for urine to flow more freely. Usually there is no overnight stay in the hospital, if uncomplicated. Sometimes a urinary catheter is left in place for a day or so, depending on the clinical situation. Bladder irritability can occur for a few days. Consult a urologist for details.

Here are some...:
"raised" or "high-and-tight" bladderneck has been used to denote what and how the immediate bladder opening (outlet) - bladder neck, looks like visually in the eyes of urologists who perform cystourethroscopy, but relatively subjective.

Feeling a constant urge to urinate is an annoying problem. It can be caused by a bladder infection. If you have seen a doc several times and there is no infection but the symptoms continue, you may have something called Interstitial Cystitis.

YES:
Yes you will need that procedure to help urinary flow. If you can not afford medication write to the company, most of them have special plans to help the people who can not afford them. Speak to your doctor.

Chicken or egg:
Unless there is another problem in addition to the urinary ones, there is no way to know. If treatment of the tight bladder neck pharmacologically improves voiding there might be an improvement in the pelvic floor dysfunction. If this occurs, one could infer that the bladder neck problem at least partially caused or exacerbated the problems with the pelvic floor.

Many:
Who ever told you that you have raised bladderneck, must told you the reason for it. It is a diagnosis made by specialist, not a common talk piece with friends, prostrate problem could be one, listen to your doctors.

Treatment options:
Your options include: 1. Trying a higher dose Vesicare 2. Trying a different medication for overactive bladder 3. See a urologist since this is not likely a simple case of an overactive bladder Regardless, I encourage you to follow up with whomever prescribed this medication to ensure they are aware of this treatment failure so they further address your problem.

Anything that creates a blockage of the intestinal tract. You may think of the intestinal tract (stomach, small bowel, large bowel) as somewhat akin to a garden hose.
